My own opinion is that adding commentary about precisely how carefully Pollack did or did not word her comments on the war and micro-reading (from that lack of precision) inferences about her opinions about the war is WP:UNDUE. But if you disagree, and want to add this content to the article, you must be an established editor to do so. User:Trimesterfour and User:Macintoshgrannysmith: this means you are ineligible.
Of course, the bulk of the content of this article is unrelated to the war and unaffected by these arbitration remedies. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:49, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
- Now that Cornell has been mentioned in a Ways and Means Committee letter suggesting they could lose their accreditation over the controversy,[1] [the ARBPIA notice] does seem necessary, though I regret seeing the PIA umbrella spread so far. – SJ + 17:39, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
- Some article about a politician grandstanding, that barely name-drops Pollack, does not necessitate any coverage at all in the article about Pollack. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:53, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
- Agreed. Just noting that ref on this page as members of Congress may join the attacks on Cornell. – SJ + 07:03, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
